Private tours in Greece: day tours and a car by the hour

Greece Private Tours sells private day tours and a car and driver by the hour, not multi-day packages: a stay of several days is built from them with our own drivers in the 11 places we drive, from Santorini and Athens to Corfu, Crete, Mykonos, Rhodes, Katakolon and Thessaloniki. Every day is priced per group or quoted, and any other private tour in Greece is arranged on request.

What a stay of several days looks like with us

You book the hotels and the ferries or flights; we drive the days. A week split between Athens and Santorini is, on our side, two or three days from each list below, each with its own driver, its own price and its own confirmation, and the office puts them in an order that makes sense on the map. Nothing on this site bundles a hotel, a ferry or a flight, and no package price exists to be quoted: the price of a stay is the sum of its days.

Santorini days

The 4-hour tour at 300 EUR per group for up to three guests, the 5-hour tour at 400 EUR, the full day from 700 EUR, the sunset tour from 500 EUR and the car and driver from 50 EUR per hour; the Santorini page compares them, and for cruise days the port page prints the call each needs.

Athens days and the days out of Athens

The highlights at 300 EUR per group for up to three, the full day from 700 EUR, Cape Sounion and Ancient Corinth at 400 EUR each, and the longer days quoted by email: Delphi in 9 hours, Mycenae, Epidaurus and Nafplio in 10, Meteora in 14, and the Athens car and driver by the hour. The day-trips page compares the days out of Athens by the hours on the road.

Days in the other nine places we drive

The same rule holds on the islands and in the north, one day at a time with our own driver, priced per group from the same rate card. Corfu has a 4-hour highlights day at 300 EUR, the Achilleion and the old town in 5 hours and an 8-hour island day; Crete from Heraklion has Knossos in 4 hours and Knossos with Archanes in 5; Mykonos a 4-hour and a 5-hour island tour; Rhodes the medieval town in 4 hours, Lindos with the old town in 5 and the island in 8; Katakolon the 5-hour day to Ancient Olympia; and Thessaloniki the city in 4 hours, Pella and Vergina or Dion and Mount Olympus in 8, and Meteora in 11. For cruise days the shore excursions page prints, port by port, the call each day needs and the meeting point on the quay, and Delphi, Meteora and Nafplio have pages of their own as the day trips from Athens.

Any other private tour in Greece, on request

A day that is not on this site, in a place we have no page for or with stops of your own, is arranged on request: send the place, the date, the hours and your group through the custom tour form, and the office answers by email with a day and its price. We quote only where we have a driver to send, and nothing is booked until you say yes. A day we run by request alone has a page of its own in quote mode, such as the Pozar thermal baths and Edessa waterfalls day, the Vergina and Veria day and the Philippi and Kavala day, the Kassandra day and the Sithonia day from Thessaloniki, the Jewish heritage morning in Athens and the day at three wineries on Santorini, their stops routed and their tickets sourced, with no figure until the office answers. Days in Turkey, to Ephesus from Kusadasi, Istanbul and Izmir, are arranged on request too, quoted for each call: the Turkey page says what to send.

What a multi-day arrangement includes and excludes

Each day includes the vehicle for your group only, one of our own drivers, the pickup and drop-off named on the tour page, the waiting at every stop and bottled water. Each day excludes the entrance fees, paid at the gate with the amounts and dates printed on the tour page, lunch and drinks, a licensed guide inside the sites, and anything between the days: the hotel, the ferry, the flight, the transfer to them. Two days with the same driver around Athens are two bookings; the office confirms them together.

How to ask for several days

List the days you have in the custom tour form, with the dates, your group size and where each day starts, and the office answers with the days that fit, each priced from the rate card or quoted, and the order it suggests. The price guide prints the card with its date, and the what-is-a-private-tour page says what each day is.
